Reid Cornwell To: Vint Cerf Sent: Tue Aug 29 10:29:11 2006 Subject: Arpanet History Vint, A colleague posed this question: When ARPAnet connected the four universities in 1969, were there only actually four computers connected to each other? If not, does anyone know how many? A source (not Wikipedia or your personal memory) for this information would be much appreciated. Thanks, Ulla I did not know the answer. Could you help? I think your personal memory would suffice. The center is progressing well but more slowly than my industrial self would like to see. Hope things are well with you. Thanks for your help.
